Introducing the Motherboard

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the CDC-M motherboard. This motherboard is a high

performance, enhanced function motherboard with Intel

Atom D2700/D2550/D2500

or other CPU for high-end business or personal desktop markets.

The motherboard is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel,

including PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, one VGA port, one DVI port (one

HDMI port optional), one COM port (optional), four USB 2.0 ports, one LAN port

Installing the Motherboard

Safety Precautions

• Follow these safety precautions when installing the motherboard

• Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid dam-

age from static electricity

• Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely

grounded object before working on the motherboard

• Leave components in the static-proof bags they came in

• Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend circuit boards

Choosing a Computer Case

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The motherboard complies

with the specifications for the Micro-ATX system case. Some features on the

motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the motherboard to indica-

tors and switches on the system case. Make sure that your case supports all the

features required. Make sure that your case has sufficient power and space for all

drives that you intend to install.

Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that the I/O

template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge of the

motherboard.

This motherboard carries a Micro-ATX form factor of 190 x 170 mm. Choose a case

that accommodates this form factor.

Installing the Motherboard in a Case

Most system cases have mounting brackets installed in the case, which correspond

the holes in the motherboard. Place the motherboard over the mounting brackets

and secure the motherboard onto the mounting brackets with screws.

Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and expansion

slots on your motherboard.

Refer to the following illustration and instructions for installing the motherboard in

a case.

Installing the Motherboard

Checking Jumper Settings

Setting Jumpers

Use the motherboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with

more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper

caps are placed on the correct pins.

The illustrations show a 2-pin jumper.

When the jumper cap is placed on both

pins, the jumper is SHORT. If you re-

move the jumper cap, or place the jumper

cap on just one pin, the jumper is OPEN.

This illustration shows a 3-pin jumper.

Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

SHORT OPEN

Do not over-tighten the screws as this can stress the motherboard.

This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the motherboard.

Installing the Motherboard

Checking Jumper Settings

The following illustration shows the location of the motherboard jumpers. Pin 1 is

labeled.

Jumper Settings

1. To avoid the system instability after clearing CMOS, we recommend

users to enter the main BIOS setting page to “Load Default Settings”

and then “Save and Exit Setup”.

2. Make sure the power supply provides enough 5VSB voltage before

selecting the 5VSB function.

Installation Procedure

Refer to the following to install the memory modules.

1 This motherboard supports unbuffered DDR3 SODIMM.

2 Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with

notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be

installed correctly.

3 Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the

notches in the DIMM slot.

4 Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it

seats correctly.

5 Install any remaining DIMM modules.

* For reference only

Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging

until you are ready to install it on the motherboard. Handle the

modules only by their edges. Do not touch the components or metal

parts. Always wear a grounding strap when you handle the modules.

Installing the Motherboard

Installing Add-on Cards

The slot on this motherboard is designed to hold expansion card and connect it to the

system bus. Expansion slot is a mean of adding or enhancing the motherboard’s

features and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can increase the

motherboard’s capabilities by adding hardware that performs tasks that are not part

of the basic system.

Expansion Slots

This motherboard is equipped with one standard PCI slot. PCI stands

for Peripheral Component Interconnect and is a bus standard for

expansion cards, which for the most part, is a supplement of the

older ISA bus standard.

PCI Slot

Before installing an add-on card, check the documentation for the

card carefully. If the card is not Plug and Play, you may have to

manually configure the card before installation.

The PCI Express x1 slots is fully compliant to the PCI Express

Base Specification revision 2.0.

PCIE1 Slot

Installing the Motherboard

Follow these instructions to install an add-on card:

1 Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the

slot you are going to use.

2 Install the edge connector of the add-on card into the expansion slot.

Ensure that the edge connector is correctly seated in the slot.

3 Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a screw.

* For reference only

2. The onboard PCI interface does not support 64-bit SCSI cards.

1. For some add-on cards, for example graphics adapters and network

adapters, you have to install drivers and software before you can begin

using the add-on card.
